Draught at the source: pours brown with a beige head. Aroma is yeasty, hints of wine, sort of herbal. Taste is yeasty, low sweetness, interesting woody notes. Not my favorite.

Shared 25.4 oz. bottle. Pours a dark brown with a light beige head. Aroma is dark fruits, funk, and spice with hints of red wine. Taste is similar with faint chocolate and coffee. Additionally, it has a sourness to it, but it’s not a tart sourness, but rather more like sour milk. It is most assuredly a unique beer, but one with its potential left unfulfilled.

Location: 750ml bottle from Sparrow - Downtown, purchased today, 10/23/15
Aroma: The aroma is sweet malts over Saison yeast, caramel, rye/spice, with fruity notes
Appearance: It pours a murky brownish color with a beige-brown head and spotty, drippy lace
Flavor: It is medium-plus sweet, solid, but I didn't get enough of the fruit or dryness described
Palate: The body is medium, leans slightly lighter, lively carbonation, and an okay mouthfeel
Overall Impression: Not my favorite of the the Transmitter beers. Something didn't work quite right with the melding of components in this one. I feel like it is close, really, I do, but it just doesn't get there for me. Too bad, I expect more from these guys when it comes to making a Saison-style offering, I know what they can do with this style.

Bottle - Dark malts, sourness, yeasts, grass and spice. Jet black with a light brown head. Chocolate, dark malts and a funky yeasty finish. Fun, weird and not a saison.
